PHP sending through Outlook

[Guggly]

Hi! Is there any way to control Outlook mail functions using PHP? Specifically what I'd like to do is send email (including attachments) from my PHP script and have the email show up in Outlook's Sent Items folder. Is this possible or would it require going through some 3rd-party COM object?

Thanks -- Mike

If PHP is running on the same machine as Outlook, you should be able to do it. But it will require COM programming to accomplish it.

As an alternate idea, why not just have PHP send a CC: to the mailbox Outlook is using, and program in an Outlook mail delivery rule to put any arriving email from your PHP app into a specific folder?

Interesting idea about just sending a copy to myself, will give it some thought!

In response to your first post, would you recommend anywhere in particular as far as getting info on COM programming with PHP? I'm sure I could find something, but if you had any recommendations it would be great. -- Thanks for your help!

Sorry, but most of my PHP programming has been on Linux. I haven't done any COM programming at all in PHP.
